Planning a destination wedding for 2026 or 2027? The hardest part usually isn't picking a beach. It's figuring out what "all-inclusive wedding package" actually means from one resort to the next, since the fine print varies more than most couples expect.
We work with these resorts directly, planning destination weddings from Riviera Maya to Cap Cana every season, and we've put together this guide the way we'd walk a couple through it on a call: what's genuinely included, what usually costs extra, and which resort fits which kind of wedding. If you'd rather skip the research and talk it through, our destination wedding team does this for free. Reach out here or call 832-482-2388.
Quick answer: Most all-inclusive wedding packages are complimentary or low-cost when your guest list hits a resort's minimum room-night requirement, typically somewhere in the 10 to 20 room range depending on the property. Below that minimum, packages generally start in the $999+ range. Either way, the package usually covers the ceremony setup, a wedding coordinator, and a set menu; décor upgrades, private receptions, and add-on excursions are where costs typically grow.

1.El Dorado Spa & Resorts
Quick take: Best for full customization (Riviera Maya)
El Dorado Royale and El Dorado Casitas Royale are where we send couples who want to design their day from scratch rather than pick from a set template. The wedding team here will build a package around your vision instead of the other way around, and the resort's Gourmet Legacy® dining program means the reception menu can genuinely stand out.
What's included: complimentary wedding packages when you hit the room-night minimum, "cash for your bash" credit toward upgrades, a dedicated wedding planner and on-site coordinator, customizable décor and floral packages, and food-and-wine pairing options through Gourmet Legacy®. Good to know: this is an adults-only property, so it's a strong fit for couples who want a grown-up guest experience rather than a family-friendly one.
2. Generations Riviera Maya
Quick take: Best for mixed adult and family guests lists
Sharing grounds and privileges with El Dorado Royale and El Dorado Casitas next door, Generations Riviera Maya solves a real problem: what to do when half your guest list wants an adults-only vibe and the other half is bringing kids. Guests can move between the family-friendly Generations side and the adults-only El Dorado side, so the wedding party isn't stuck choosing one experience for everyone.
What's included: the same complimentary package structure, planning team, and Gourmet Legacy® dining as El Dorado, plus access across all three connected properties for your guests' accommodations.
Good to know: this cross-property privilege sharing is fairly unique among Riviera Maya resorts. Worth asking about specifically if your guest list is a genuine mix of families and couples.
3. Secrets Resorts
Quick take: (multiple locations): Best for budget-concious couples who still want a beach wedding
The Secrets brand spans Cancun, Riviera Maya, Cap Cana, and beyond, and it's usually our starting recommendation for couples working with a tighter wedding budget who still want an all-inclusive beach setting. Packages here are genuinely accessible.
What's included: wedding packages starting around $999, or complimentary once you meet the room minimum, plus a dedicated on-site wedding coordinator for planning and day-of logistics.
Good to know: because Secrets has multiple properties across different countries, this is a good option if a specific destination (Mexico vs. the Dominican Republic vs. elsewhere) matters more to your guests than the specific resort.
4. Secrets Moxche
Quick take: Best for a more upscale, garden-and-ballroom setting
Secrets Moxché sits at the more elevated end of the Secrets portfolio, with a range of distinct ceremony spaces, from lush garden settings to formal ballrooms, that give it a different feel than the brand's beachfront-only properties.
What's included: the same $999-or-complimentary package structure and dedicated coordinator as other Secrets resorts, with a wider range of on-site ceremony and reception venue styles to choose from.
Good to know: if you've toured other Secrets properties and want something that reads slightly more formal, this is usually the one we point couples toward.
5. TRS Resorts & Grand Palladium
Quick take: Best for adults-only and family guests sharing one resort complex (Riviera Maya, Cap Cana)
TRS and Grand Palladium properties sit side-by-side with shared guest privileges, similar in concept to El Dorado and Generations: adults-only sophistication on one side, family-friendly amenities on the other, all within walking distance.
What's included: a free wedding package, a complimentary wedding coordinator, and access to Karen Bussen-designed décor packages for couples who want a more editorial, styled look without hiring an outside designer.
Good to know: the Karen Bussen decor tie-in is a genuine differentiator here, worth a look if you have a specific aesthetic in mind and don't want to source décor yourself.
Quick take: Best for couples who want five-star polish (Cancun & Los Cabos)
Le Blanc is the most upscale option on this list, and it shows in the wedding package itself. This is where we send couples for whom the resort experience is as much a part of the wedding as the ceremony.
What's included: free wedding essentials, a complimentary room upgrade, complimentary wedding-related events, a dedicated wedding specialist, a non-denominational officiant for a symbolic ceremony, a two-hour Blanc Spa Bridal Suite session for the bride, and a four-hour Hospitality Suite for the groom on the wedding day.
Good to know: Los Cabos and Cancun offer meaningfully different scenery (dramatic desert-meets-ocean cliffs vs. classic white-sand beach), so it's worth deciding on the backdrop first if you're torn between the two locations.
7. Walkdorf Astoria Los Cabos
Quick take: Best for a dramatic, high-end Los Cabos setting
For couples set on Los Cabos specifically and looking for something beyond the standard beach ceremony, Waldorf Astoria Pedregal's clifftop setting and private cove access offer one of the more dramatic backdrops in the region.
What's included: wedding packages are typically custom-quoted rather than templated. Ask your advisor about current minimums and what's bundled versus à la carte for this property.
Good to know: because this is a luxury, lower-inventory resort, it's worth locking in a date earlier than you would at a larger all-inclusive brand.
Frequently asked questions
How much does an all-inclusive destination wedding actually cost? It depends heavily on guest count and whether you hit the resort's complimentary package minimum. See our full cost breakdown for real ranges by resort tier.
How many guests do I need for a complimentary wedding package? This varies by resort and typically falls somewhere between 10 and 20 booked rooms, though some properties set it by room-nights rather than headcount. We confirm the exact number for your date when you reach out to our team.
Can I combine resorts if my guest list wants different experiences? Yes. El Dorado/Generations Riviera Maya and TRS/Grand Palladium are both built around this exact scenario, letting adults-only and family guests share one resort complex with separate amenities.
Do I need a wedding planner if the resort provides a coordinator? The resort coordinator manages on-site logistics; we manage everything before you arrive, including guest travel, group rates, vendor comparisons across resorts, and translating between you and the resort team. Most couples use both. Learn more about what our destination wedding perks include.
